Ripawine

The owners of Ripawine come from farming families where the tradition and knowledge of cultivating vineyards is passed down from generation to generation. For all of them, caring for the vineyard is an activity shared with the whole family: Both pruning and cleaning the vineyard and the crucial moment of harvest. Some of them, like Maurizio, have as their primary task taking care of the vineyards. Others, in addition to working in the vineyards, have other jobs and therefore mainly work in the vineyards in their free time. The selection of the best grapes and the entire production process from harvest to bottled wine is monitored by the oenologist Sandro (photo). Every year he tries to improve the quality of the wines with care and passion, while remaining faithful to the farming traditions from which they originate.

Known as the Belvedere del Piceno, Ripatransone offers unparalleled views stretching from the Gran Sasso to the Sibillini Mountains, from Conero to Gargano, to the Dalmatian coast.

The center looks medieval, with Renaissance and Baroque buildings, despite noble palaces from the early and late 18th centuries. These are mainly visible along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, the main axis that crosses the city from south to north. In the most popular neighborhoods there are numerous streets and alleys, including the one with the guinness world record of the narrowest alley in Italy: 43 centimeters. The gastronomy is genuine and tasty: The typical dish of ciavarro consists of legumes and grains.
